This is the first poem ive done in a long time, and, regrettably so... Black Acres The park of Black Acres of makers, of takers lays in the recess, at rest, at rest until the awakening, the speaking, the freaking takes the takers, the makers The trees hear not their cry, their sigh, their sigh the water hears not their plight, their fight, their might the black clouds hear not their despair, their nightmares, their frightmares only can I hear their hopeless bind, for they are crying, lieing in my mind

hmm... you seem to be about 6 months behind the buzz.... Of course the PSP can go on the internet. Ive spent literally hours in school just browsing while teachers give lectures. Also, ive played online games on the PSP for hours. And after a while, you get used to typing things into the psp via its "keyboard" it hardly takes much time for me to type a message online with it...

well, I live in Park City Utah, one of the homes of the Olympic winter games '02. There are 3 ski resorts here, so yeah I go boarding almost every weekend. Im pretty good, as I have been going for about 4 years now. I can handle any terrain, really. In fact, my friend and I are looking for a good place to go backcountry snowboarding/skiing. but there have been so many backcountry deaths here recently that its really unnerving. So, anyway, yeah I like to go snowboarding. Its fun, but theres been a lot of rain/slush in the last week.... yeah right after all this awesome snow, too. And, this winter marks the first winter that Park City has had to declare a "Snow emergency" and theyre hauling truck loads of snow out of town.....Interesting, no?

I love Dropkick Murphys and Flogging molly. Their music is awesome--irish Punk rock sad thing is... only my group of friends at my school (which consists of about 50) are really he only people that like these bands. More and more people tese days are turning to mainstream "punk" music or whatever, like green day, and Good charlotte *shudders*, less than jake, *shudders again* etc etc. so its good to see that some people really do have a sense of music ^.^

I have to say that, personally, I am REALLY really looking forward to the release of the PSP. I mena, how COULDNT you want something that has a pretty damn good processing power, damn good graphics for a handheld, and the ability to play wirelessly online (using wireless BlueTooth technology.) It will double as a translator for I believe it said 28 different languages (source: Newsweek, October 25 (?)) Newsweek also stated that it will be able to have up to 8 hours gameplay, though I believe that figure has changed from 8 to 6. [QUOTE=http://www.ferrago.com/story/3562] With Sony's pre-show conference now in full swing the Playstation Portable has been fully unveiled to the awed masses. As well as the first images of the wee beast in action, we've news herein on the specifications and other such details, including clues to the titles that we'll be playing on this device Sony claim can produce full-motion "3D-CG" visuals similar to the PS2. The PSP will initially be available in black, and will include a 16:9 ratio TFT LCD wide screen, centred on a sleek, ergonomically designed controller that Sony hope will fit snugly in the hand. The dimensions are 170mm x 74mm x 23mm and it will reportedly weigh 260g. The screen will support the full sixteen-million or so colours of the spectrum, in a resolution of 480 x 272. The positioning of the PSP's D-Pad and buttons are apparently based on the Playstation's - for convenience - and the device will incorporate stereo speakers, a headphone jack and volume/brightness controls. Connectors offered include a full 802.11b wireless LAN option (for connection in the home and to the wider network), as well as USB 2.0. The wireless functionality will allow several PSPs to connect and enjoy multiplayer gaming or take the player online. Data will be downloadable wirelessly, via USB, or using the Sony Memory Stick compatibility offered. PSP software will come in Universal Media Disc format, which supports 1.8gb of data, despite being only 60mm in diameter. This format will offer support for movie and music files as well as games and other software, and a robust anti-piracy encryption system is touted.

I just got this game yesterday! After hardly playing the original NFSU, I decided to go up to my local Wal*Mart. In fact, I am very surprised that I found it there, since the damn store hard;y has any games other than the goddamn Football and Basketball games. So i got home, and, after reading some rather dissapointing review (like gamespots 7.4/10) i played it. I think it is one helluva kickass game. I have only played for about an hour so far due to school and whatnot, but it is a wicked game. Does anyone else think so? If so, what car did you start with and whatever elkse youd like to say about the game. As for me, I started with the Mazda Miata MX-5. So far I have only upgraded the cam gears and fuel accessories, A great game, and personally I would give it a [COLOR=Red]9/10[/COLOR]. the only thing i have found wrong is that the story is told in a "slide show" type style, with drawn pictures--not animation, mind you-- and voice overs. they should have made them cinematics.

I had 1-3, planning on getting four and five, but my 3rd one got juice spilled all over it! it really pissed me off, because my fave character is Sakaki, and she was on the cover *cries* Soo... continuing the above statement, my fave char is sakaki, because shes quiet, mostly, like me. fave strip? thats a toughie.... its been soo long since I have read it.. I cant remember. I like them all. But yeah, anyone reading this thread who DOESNT have this series, Id suggest you go buy it. Very funny, good art. ^.^

ok. First off, mods, if this seems not "worthy enough" of staying open, I can understand. Ok, I am looking to buy a new CD and/or open my music horizons a little. I want to go down to my local music shop to get a new CD, but I really can't make up my mind. I like things like Evanescence, Tool, A Perfect Circle, all types of "dance" music, aka "techno", but mostly dark and fast, The Beatles, Metallica, Anti-Flag, The Distillers, Marilyn Manson, Nirvana, Flogging Molly, and Dropkick Murphys, to name a few. I was kinda thinkin about getting a new Tool CD, or a Perfect Circle CD, but I just cant make up my damn mind. So, if anyone has anything similar to this kinda stuff, or thinks I might like something you like, lemme know.

Yeha I have to agree with that last post. When I first started kissing, I felt like I was in the same s**t you are. Then, I just told myself to pull it together and kissed my gf on the lips. Again, agreeing with Lalaith, its not something you can be "taught," its just something that comes naturally. Of course, one peice of advice I can give you, that I have learned over the... um... past couple months-- close your eyes. It realy helps. Close them at the same time you touch lips. If you close em too soon, you risk "missing" and getting a bad kiss, if you do it too late, the girl thinks youre not serious and/or definitely dont know how to kiss, or that you dont have passion.

Wait. So bananas, now that scientists have found all these great things that they do for you, are they gonna be illegal now? I mean, they do basically the same thing as drugs: Make you feel good, give you energy, take away some pain.... Sooo.. .Yeah. But oreos.... they dont even give me a sugar high... Oh, wait nothing does. Hmm... Never mind.

Hmm... a SINGLE favorite character?? No can do. However, some of my favorites are Princess Mononoke, Ashitaka (from princess mononoke) Kenshin from Rurouni Kenshin/Samurai X, Excel from Excel Saga... Princess mononoke because shes raised by wolves, and just plain kicks a**, as well as Ashitaka. Kenshin because I'm obsessed with Samurai. Excel because shes loud funny, good-looking, and different. So a single favorite character=not happening.

HAHAHA I don't even like Coke. But no, I find my cookies more satisfying with... water, actually. Wait... yeah thats because I dont like milk to begin with, soooo yeah. No. And the secreting endorphins thing? wow, looks like america has stumbled upon another drug. OOOh get this: bananas: [QUOTE] BANANAS After reading this You will NEVER look at a banana in the same way again ! Bananas. Containing three natural sugars - sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with fiber, a banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost ofenergy. Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder the banana is the number one fruit with the world's leading athletes. But energy isn't the only way a banana can help us keep fit. It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a must to add to our daily diet. Depression: According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND amongst people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating a banana. This is because bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier. PMS: Forget the pills - eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood. Anemia: High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of hemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anemia. Blood Pressure: This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making it the perfect to beat blood pressure. So much so, the US Food and Drug Administration has just allowed the banana industry to make official claims for the fruit's ability to reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke. Brain Power: 200 students at a Twickenham (Middlesex) school were helped through their exams this year by eating bananas at breakfast, break, and lunch in a bid to boost their brain power. Research has shown that the potassium-packed fruit can assist lear ning by making pupils more alert. Constipation: High in fiber, including bananas in the diet can help restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives. Hangovers: One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is to make a banana milkshake, sweetened with honey. The banana calms the stomach and, with the help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk soothes and re-hydrates your system. Heartburn: Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana for soothing relief. Morning Sickness: Snacking on bananas between meals helps to keep blood sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness. Mosquito bites: Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the affected area with the inside of a banana skin. Many people find it amazingly successful at reducing swelling and irritation. Nerves: Bananas are high in B vitamins that help calm the nervous system. Overweight and at work? Studies at the Institute of Psychology in Austria found pressure at work leads to gorging on comfort food like chocolate and chips. Looking at 5,000 hospital patients, researchers found the most obese were more likely to be in high-pressure jobs. The report concluded that, to avoid panic-induced food cravings, we need to control our blood sugar levels by snacking on high carbohydrate foods every two hours to keep levels steady. Ulcers: The banana is used as the dietary food against intestinal disorders because of its soft texture and smoothness. It is the only raw fruit that can be eaten without distress in over-chronicler cases. It also neutralizes over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining of the stomach. Temperature control: Many other cultures see bananas as a "cooling" fruit that can lower both the physical and emotion al temperature of expectant mothers. In Thailand, for example, pregnant women eat bananas to ensure their baby is born with a cool temperature. Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): Bananas can help SAD sufferers because they contain the natural mood enhancer, tryptophan. Smoking: Bananas can also help people trying to give up smoking. The B6, B12 they contain, as well as the potassium and magnesium found in them, help the body recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal. Stress: Potassium is a vital mineral, which helps normalize the heartbeat, sends oxygen to the brain and regulates your body's water balance. When we are stressed, our metabolic rate rises, thereby reducing our potassium levels. These can be rebalanced with the help of a high-potassium banana snack. Snacks: According to research in "The New England Journal of Medicine,"eating bananas as part of a regular diet can cut the risk of death by strokes by as much as 40% ! Warts: Those keen on natural alternatives swear that if you want to kill off a wart, take a piece of banana skin and place it on the wart, with the yellow side out. Carefully hold the skin in place with a plaster or surgical tape! So, a banana really is a natural remedy for many ills ! When you compare it to an apple, it has four times the protein, twice the carbohydrate, three times the phosphorus, five times the vitamin A and iron, and twice the other vitamins and minerals. It is also rich in potassium and is one of the best value foods around. So maybe its time to change that well-known phrase so that we say, "A banana a day keeps the doctor away!" A new illicit drug for america ;) [/quote] Sorry, I know that had nothing to do with the sheer sexiness of oreos, but since I got onto the topic of oreos being Americas new Illicit drugs, I figured I might as well mention this!

[QUOTE=Jim_Hawking]First things first, dude you are reading way too far into it. The oreo cookie is just that, a cookie. Two crunchy chocolate outer pieces sandwiching a layer of creamy white...creamy stuff. Nothing more, nothing less. Next, "They sexify whoever eats them." not true. Otherwise, I'd most likely have my own personal harem by now. Lastly, just take it at face value. An extremely tasty, and errily addictive cookie snack. Now, if you'll excuse me, I must finish watching this hilarious flash toon, "Dad's Home." Goodbye.[/QUOTE] Dude this thread was meant for awesomeness, not anti-awesomeness. (aka its a joke) I think that oreos are as awesome... as a supernova because there are no other cookies like them.,.. That are black and have... white... filling... Did you know: They have oreo stacking CONTESTS!?!??! yeah I got like 15... but someone got like 50. yeha I felt bad about myself then. Oreos are just plain goodness. They go well in or on ice cream, by themselves, in milk, to compliment chicken, to beautify our pantries, to serve as a boredom reducer... there are billions of different things oreos are great for. Oh, and yeah, theyre "America's Favorite Cookie."

I was gonna say this in my first thread, but I decided not to: I have played SSX 3 a LOT! I am going to buy that game as well AND, take a look at my siggy... it explains some things. As for MGs series, it is an awesome series, but rated M. Parents wont allow it. Yeah. But if you go to Merqury City Scoreboards >>>> [url]http://merqurycity.com/ssx3/scoreboard/ssx3_bestscorestimesframe.html[/url] then youll see my name in the number five spot ^.^

Im sorry if a similar thread has been created, but if one has I couldn't find it. Ok. I'm sick and tired, bored and lulled by my game colection for the PS2. I need some ideas for games, not rated M, that you people reading this can suggest. I already have: Gran Turismo 3 Tokyo Extreme Racer 0 and 3 (GREAT racing games, BTW.) .Hack part 1 Final Fantasy x and X-2 Shaun Palmers pro snowboarder Silent Hill 3 (Please dont suggest #4. I am already planning on buyin it.) Also, I would appreciate if you denoted whether the game was online capable or not. Seeing as I have an adapter, I am looking for online titles as well. If you could please help me get the ideas of some games, I will be indebted to you fore- wait... no just for a few days until I beat the game. Thanks [color=#4B0082]Merged this with the game recommendations thread, since they're basically the same thing. - [i]Desbreko[/i][/color]
